Default Water Pump Going South?

hi, all,

made this video last October while checking my hideaway install that captured a high pitched knocking I've heard before while under the hood. you can hear it clearly around the 5 sec mark. is this the water pump?

Run it with the belts off and see if what you are hearing goes away.

I have not watched the vid, but I have heard such sounds if you have a auto trans and the flexplate is cracked to one degree or another.

If you have a clutch fan also check that the fan itself does not wobble on its shaft.
